From the Daily Caller: Four Democrats joined House Republicans to pass legislation Thursday that calls for stricter regulations to ensure only U.S. citizens are participating in federal elections.

The House of Representatives voted 220 to 208 in favor of the H.R. 22, more popularly known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The bill would require states to obtain proof of citizenship prior to registering an individual for any federal election and also requires state officials to remove all non-citizens from existing voter rolls.

The SAVE Act was heavily backed by the GOP, with 216 Republicans voting in favor of the bill. However, four Democrats joined their GOP colleagues in supporting the legislation Wednesday. Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Ed Case of Hawaii were the only Democrats to vote in favor of the bill.

In the run-up to the vote, Democratic House lawmakers claimed the legislation would make it harder for individuals without proper documentation to vote, and made repeated claims that it would keep married women, in particular, from voting because their surnames no longer match the names on their birth certificates. However, GOP members pointed out the bill has provisions to allow married women to register to vote in federal elections.

A document has been released to debunk the many myths Democrats have been pushing regarding the bill.

Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) slapped down the false claims Democrats are parroting about the bill. WATCH her 3-minute fiery speech below:

Rep. Byron Donalds announced, “JUST NOW: The House has PASSED H.R. 22 “The SAVE Act” to safeguard our federal elections. If you are not a US citizen, then you SHOULD NOT be voting in US elections. It’s that simple. I’m proud to have championed and co-sponsored “The SAVE Act” last Congress and this Congress.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote, “Only American citizens should vote in American elections. The SAVE Act will ensure this by requiring proof of citizenship for all new voter registrations. While 208 Democrats demonstrated that they believe non-American citizens should vote in federal elections, @HouseGOP stood united with the millions of legal American voters who want their voices heard – and protected – at the ballot box.”

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) announced, “The House of Representatives just passed my SAVE Act with @chiproytx, requiring proof of citizenship to register and vote in federal elections. One step closer to secure elections. Democrats are not happy.”

Republican voter registration activist Scott Pressler wrote, “Never forget that 208 democrats voted AGAINST requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Thank you to House Republicans for passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.”
